Background: Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) describes diabetes-associated changes in the structure and function of the myocardium‚ in the absence of coronary atherosclerosis and hypertension. Cardiovascular complications (hypertrophy‚ oxidative stress‚ inflammation and fibrosis) are the major cause of mortality and morbidity in diabetic patients. Ample of evidence have indicated that 11β-HSD1-mediated intracellular cortisol production may have a pathogenic role in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and
